Pull request overview
This PR introduces per-plane tuning parameters for the GaussHitFinderSBN module, allowing different chi-squared and maximum multi-hit thresholds for each detector plane. The parameter values have been optimized through a grid search to improve hit finding performance.
Changes:
- Added per-plane MaxMultiHitPerPlane and Chi2NDFPerPlane parameters to replace single-value MaxMultiHit and Chi2NDF parameters
- Updated LongPulseWidth from [10, 10, 10] to [5, 5, 5] and MinPulseHeight from [5.0, 5.0, 5.0] to [2.0, 2.0, 2.0] based on grid search optimization
- Added sbnanaobj StandardRecord dependencies to CAFMaker/RecoUtils CMakeLists.txt

The Chi2NDFPerPlane parameter is not validated to ensure its size matches the number of planes in the geometry. Other similar parameters like AreaNorms use FillOutHitParameterVector to validate size and handle cases where the input vector has 1 element or N_PLANES elements. Without this validation, if a user provides a vector with an incorrect size, the code could fail at runtime with an out-of-bounds error when accessing fChi2NDF.at(plane). Consider using FillOutHitParameterVector or adding similar validation to ensure the vector size matches the geometry.

Comment formatting is inconsistent with surrounding code. The comment should use three slashes '///<' to match the style used for other member variable comments in this class (e.g., line 82).

Spelling error in comment: "gaussia" should be "gaussian".

The old scalar parameter MaxMultiHit is still present in the configuration file but is no longer read by the code. The code now only reads MaxMultiHitPerPlane. This parameter should be removed to avoid confusion and maintain consistency, as it no longer has any effect on the module's behavior.

The CMakeLists.txt changes add sbnanaobj StandardRecord dependencies, but these don't appear to be used by RecoUtils.cc or RecoUtils.h. Neither file includes or references StandardRecord or StandardRecordFlat. This change appears unrelated to the hit finder tuning described in the PR description. If these dependencies are needed for other purposes, that should be explained. If not, they should be removed as they add unnecessary dependencies and build-time coupling.
